With preparations for the summer tourism season underway, the Western Cape province will - for the first time ever - have more than one million in-bound international seats, breaking the record for travellers during the festive season.

"Looking ahead, Cape Town International Airport's seat capacity for summer 2023/24 is estimated to increase by an impressive 25%, compared to the same period last year. This means that inbound international seats this summer will exceed 1 million, for the first time ever," the MEC for Finance and Economic Opportunities, Mireille Wenger, said on Sunday.

"Over the 2023/24 season, 250 tourism monitors will be deployed across the Western Cape to identified hotspots, and will be trained and equipped with mobile apps to link them to critical security services," she said. "I am also pleased that the Department of Tourism has secured a commitment from South African Police Service that police reservists will be available during the summer season to assist with tourism safety," she said.
